Airfix - Vulcan to the Sky - Avro Vulcan B Mk2 XH58
Anniversary Edition Gift Set - 1:72 (A50097)
XH558 was the last Vulcan to leave RAF service, flying
on from 1986 to 1993 as the single RAF Disply Vulcan, a career of 33 years.
Her final flight was on 23rd March 1993 to Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome in
Leicestershire, having been sold off by the Ministry of Defence. In 1997, a
small team headed by Dr Robert Pleming started to put together an audacious
plan to return her to flight, but it was clear from the start that the
project would be technically challenging and enormously expensive. Never
deterred, the team set off down the path that led to XH558's return to the
air. Finally, 14 years after its last service flight and with over �7
million spent, Vulcan XH558 roared into the air again on Thursday 18th
October 2007, a perfect day for flying. An unforgettable day for the Vulcan
to the Sky team. �1 from the sale of this product will be donated to the
Vulcan to the Sky Trust.
